Halloween is just a few days away and that means plenty of excited kids running around. With all the kids running around with sugar induced excitement, they won't be thinking much about staying safe, so that's where you come in.
Start by making sure their costumes are safe. If it's too long, that could cause tripping. Then look at the label to see if it's made of flame retardant material. Some decorations still use candles. That along with a costume that's not flame retardant can spell trouble.
If your children are wearing a mask, teach them to take it off while walking in between houses so they can see where they go---then they can put it on just before ringing the doorbell.
Also, send them with an adult or responsible older sibling, and have them carry flashlights with fresh batteries so drivers can easily see them.
Of course, kids do all this for one reason---candy! But remind them to not eat any of it before they get home. When they do get to the house, take a look at it to make sure none of it has been tampered with. Throw away anything that looks suspicious.
But most importantly, especially for the kid in all of us, get out there and have fun, but keep it safe.
